Song of the Swan

Our next puppet theatre production will take place in July 2025. Watch out for details!

The story of a girl named Jesse and a Trumpeter Swan named Only, who become close friends. Through their friendship, they find out about migratory ways of life and how all creatures need to feel at home in the habitat that is suitable to them.

Trumpeters Swans were almost extinct by the late 1800’s but are no longer considered to be endangered. We see them near here, flying over, and in the Shuswap River, during the winter months.

A group of artists assembled in April 2024 at Curly Willow Farm, to experiment with swan puppets and begin to get ready for the future performances.
